Energy Cookies

These are great little snacks for the on the go person.
Protein types need to add more protein or have a whey shake with this in order to be balanced. (I would take the currants/raisins out to lessen the glycemic response, this will also lower the carb count)
Sympathetic types (a branch of the carb type) can eat these cookies just the way they are.
Mixed types can eat this as is, depending on where you lean towards in your mixed prescription, you might need more protein, or less fat (alterations will need to be made by the  individuals reaction to the cookies post digestion)



**Makes 18-24 large cookies 
2 cups coconut flour (can use spelt flour)
2 cups almond meal
1 cup pumpkin seeds
1 cup sesame seeds
1 cup sunflower seeds
2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (a gift)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
*Mix the dry ingredients and set aside
1 cup currants / raisins (soak these in 1/2 cup hot water for 3min to expand them)
1 cup coconut oil (this should be a liquid state)
1 cup maple syrup
2 tbs vanilla extract
1 egg beaten
*Mix all the wet ingredients together 
*Now mix wet and dry ingredients together (Add some protein powder if too wet)
*Now spoon out your mixture onto the baking sheet (press down with the spoon or get fancy and make lines on the cookies with a fork like mom and grandma used to do)
*Bake for 15min, edges should be light brown

*PROTEIN BOOSTER
To boost the protein on these cookies use my protein powder icing :-)
1 scoop casein protein chocolate
Add a little bit of water at a time until you have a icing like paste.
After cookies are cooked paint some icing on top of the cookies you want the protein booster on.
Now do the math = 24g protein divided by how many cookies you painted.
